This Coconut Kalakand
✓ makes a beautiful dessert for Diwali
✓ is super easy to make
✓ requires only a handful of ingredients!
Making this kalakand is really easy. I make this sweet with milk and homemade paneer but you can use condensed milk instead of milk and sugar too.
To make this Coconut Kalakand, start with curdling the milk to make fresh chena.
Oh by the way if you are confused between paneer and chena, let me clarify.

Both are one or the same thing. When milk is curdled, we get chena. It forms the base of so many Bengali sweets like kesar sondesh, paneer ki kheer, Angoori Rasmalai, Rasgulla etc.
When weight is put on top of that chena and it is allowed to set, then it becomes paneer and used in several Indian recipes like paneer butter masala and kadai paneer!
